Lamentations 1:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
מ Mem
13 He sent fire from heaven(A) into my bones;
He made it descend.[a](B)
He spread a net for my feet(C)
and turned me back.
He made me desolate,
sick all day long.
נ Nun
14 My transgressions have been formed into a yoke,[b][c](D)
fastened together by His hand;
they have been placed on my neck,
and the Lord has broken my strength.
He has handed me over
to those I cannot withstand.
ס Samek
15 The Lord has rejected(E)
all the mighty men within me.
He has summoned an army[d] against me
to crush my young warriors.
The Lord has trampled Virgin Daughter Judah(F)
like grapes in a winepress.(G)

Lamentations 1:13-15
King James Version
13 From above hath he sent fire into my bones, and it prevaileth against them: he hath spread a net for my feet, he hath turned me back: he hath made me desolate and faint all the day.
14 The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.
15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my mighty men in the midst of me: he hath called an assembly against me to crush my young men: the Lord hath trodden the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as in a winepress.
